I will translate poetry of Claes Andersson, Tua Forsström, Ralf Antbacka and Heidi von Wright and make selections from their published collections. Their books, so called poetry passports, will be published by the organizer of Belgrade poetry festival, Treći Trg, May 2013. It is now a tradition to have Finland-Swedish poets at that festival. 2013 an exchange with Serbian poets will start and the four mentioned Finland-Swedish poets will be in focus at the festival. In November, a group of Serbian poets will attend Vaasa Littfest.

The second part of my work is to translate the following four Finland-Swedish plays: True love sucks by Tove Appelgren, Elvis i jukeboxen by Paul Olin, Hissvägraren by Bengt Ahlfors and Akta dig för älgarna, Vesta-Linnéa, by Tove Appelgren. I also hope to convince theatres in Serbia to stage them in the future.
